It's very secure so there's little if any chance of success but they always try. The alligator is supposed to be released in some body of water near Tuscalossa, not far from where it was captured. I have no idea why they would release it near a population center but I imagine this won't be the last we hear of this gator.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01235046826421680852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26061284.post-31900199605253699672010-07-21T07:14:24.796-05:002010-07-21T07:14:24.796-05:00I suspect this is a pet who has outgrown (or eaten...I suspect this is a pet who has outgrown (or eaten) its owner. I'd be surprised if alligators are this far north.<br /><br />But I'm sure someone will find a way to weave this into a global warming agenda.<br /><br />Is there a strong PETA presence in Birmingham? Maybe they can offer assistance with the capture and reintroduction to its natural environment?Davidnoreply@blogger.com
